Default Checking Clutch?

I was wondering what are the best ways/way to check if your clutch is worn out and is going to need replacement soon?

What kind of car do you have?
Get a bunch of people in your car.
go on the freeway and when its a slight hill, put it in 5th gear and give it full gas, if the revs start slowly going up and your car isnt moving forward any faster, then your clutch is going out.
if not then its fine for now.
Also shift from 2nd to third fast, and if the rpms kinda go up and back down then thats another way to tells,
and just by driving around, if it starts grabbing like when your pedal is almost out then its time.
Blead your clutch.
I did it to mine and it helped alittle.
check your clutch fluid

I always just go around 15mph, put in in 4th and floor it. If it revs without going faster, your clutch is worn out.

yeah.
But I mean do you race?
If you dont race and just drive it and it grabs fine then you should be fine. when it starts grabing bad, then just replace it.

No I dont race it but I let my buddy drive it and he did a burnout and after that to me it seems as if the clutch pedal got harder twords the top but my friction point is still the same and there isnt any slippage
